Google has long promised us “sweet pill” in the form of a long-awaited update to Android 5.0, which is in the first place, of course, touches the line devices Nexus, always appears as “pioneers” in this case. We also present the reasons for users of Android-devices hurry to upgrade just not necessary. Here they are:

1. If you are not yet familiar with Lollipop.

If you have Android version 4.4 KitKat or below, and you have not had the time or the desire to get acquainted with the features and changes that brings Android 5.0 Lollipop , make sure that you have at least some kind of information about it before installing the update. Believe me, a little research will make the transition much easier.

Android 5.0 Lollipop is a major update in the history of the OS, and, perhaps the biggest, so that is clearly not worth upgrading blindly. This means that you may have to spend a lot of time to get acquainted with the system after installation. Of course, for some it is a question of just a couple of days, and for someone – and more, because the changes are substantial. This is not Android 4.4 KitKat. Just in case you can explore our list of differences Android 5.0 Lollipop from Android 4.4 KitKat.

2. If you do not want to deal with “bugs»

If you have already updated your Android device in one of the Nexus, you know that the chances are that the Android 5.0 Lollipop problems users may throw this line . As a rule, in the first day there is a couple of more or less serious and a lot of small issues on the first day. Nexus users have long advocated as “guinea pigs” of Google, and not the fact that with the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop something change in this respect.

So, if you’re not in the mood to deal with the ordinary “funnies” and your Android 4.4 KitKat works fine and you quite satisfied, I advise you to wait a while before installing the update. Usually about the biggest problem is becoming known in the early days after the official release, and they removed almost as quickly as they are discovered.

There is a high probability that in the latest version of Android were corrected problems that existed in Android 4.4 KitKat, but if the latter you do not worry much, then you should wait a day or two, or maybe even a week before installing the software on the device. There is no reason to hurry.

3. If you are not the new device.

The main burden of the problems usually falls on the “older” devices. Last year’s update Android 4.4 KitKat has caused a number of problems for users Nexus and Nexus 7 Release 4, 2012, in fact, so many problems that many people still were skeptical about what the developers released the following updates for these devices. But Google knows how to surprise and upgrade to Android 5.0 will receive both devaysa.

In fact, it is a problem not just Google. Other manufacturers are also faced with similar things. For example, when Apple released an update to iOS 8, it became clear that it does not work properly on the iPad 2 or iPhone 4S. And this really is not surprising, since both devices are already morally obsolete. In general, if you use pozaproshlogodnie Nexus 4 or Nexus 7 years, take your time.

4. If you have a lot of critical applications.

Many of us use applications that help us learn more effectively or to cope with everyday tasks at work. While most developers have already begun to adapt their applications to ensure compatibility with Android 5.0 Lollipop and Material Design, there is always the chance that the OS update might bring some new problems. And if you do it at the wrong time, it could be great to complicate your life.

If you want your application can be fully relied upon, it is best to hold back the horses, while for them will not be provided full support for Android 5.0 Lollipop. Most of the applications from third-party developers should be ok, but to risk personally, I would not, especially when using these services, you are doing something very important for work or study.

5. If you’re traveling.

If you are traveling, setting a fresh version of Android – not the best solution, again, especially if you have Nexus. Agree to find yourself in a foreign country with a stable working device – not the most promising prospects. This is especially frustrating for those who do not have enough time to make a backup of their data.

So, if you’re abroad when your favorite device, catching Wi-Fi network in any cafe, offer you upgrade, do not succumb to his blandishments. Your update is not going anywhere, and when you return home, may find Android 5.0 already patched with “bugs” instead of the original version.

6. If you’re not ready.

If you are not ready to upgrade Android 5.0 Lollipop, do not install the new version. If you did not back up your data, your device is not cleared of all rubbish, is not updated all the necessary applications are not sure that the manufacturer of your device officially confirmed the possibility of renewal, perhaps you should wait until then, until all this is done .

For the experienced veterans Nexus it may seem superfluous, but in our experience, the better you prepare, the more comfortable you will be held for the update procedure. Most users who have problems after the update, it’s the people who blindly installed the update, without bothering about the preservation of all important information. Do not be such a man.

7. If you are using the device for work.

In the past we have faced with a lot of problems associated with updating a smartphone or tablet Nexus. For example, many people are becoming too quickly discharged battery, and this may be unacceptable if you use the device for work.

So for those of you who use the Nexus 7, Nexus 4, Nexus or Nexus 1 to 5 work, it is worth to wait.
